Confirmed from Northridge Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lake and pond with a loop trail, plus a playground, picnic tables and a gazebo.

Great playground. Beautiful trail going around a little pond. Big field. Free library. Good place to fly a kite, go for a walk, have a picnic, grill out, fish, and explore.
Nice asphalted walking trail around pond and thru woods, play grounds on near parking and big field for ball games etc.
Nice quiet park. Huge field for games. Pond is nice with gazebo and walking path. Small kids playground.
